The American Psychological Association Committee on Women in Psychology (CWP) announces its seventh annual Leadership Institute for Women in Psychology (LIWP) to be held on Monday, Aug. 4, through Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2014, and Wednesday, March 25 through Thursday, March 26, 2015, in Washington, D.C. This year we are accepting approximately 20 mid-career women psychologists who work full time in academic or academic medical settings, and approximately 20 mid-career women psychologists who work primarily in clinical or consulting settings. Mid-career women psychologists in leadership roles in integrated primary care settings in academic health centers, public, community or private sectors are encouraged to apply as well.
This is a competitive process and modesty is not helpful in this regard. The applications for each group (a. academic/academic medical and b. clinical/consulting) are different. Please complete one application only, for the group with which you most clearly identify and for which you meet the eligibility criteria discussed below.
The overall mission of the APA LIWP is to empower, prepare and support women psychologists as leaders to promote positive changes in institutional, organizational and practice settings as well as APA and State, Provincial and Territorial Associations (SPTA) governance, and increase the diversity, number and effectiveness of women psychologists as leaders. The program's mission supports APA's goal to advance psychology as a science and profession and as a means of promoting health, education and human welfare.
The objectives of the APA CWP Leadership Institute for Women in Psychology
1. Ensure that mid-career women in psychology have the knowledge and skills necessary to compete for leadership/senior management positions in academic, practice and other professional settings as well as APA and SPTA governance.
2. Enhance the number and effectiveness of women psychologists holding leadership positions in academic, practice and other professional settings as well as APA and SPTA governance.
3. Increase the diversity of women psychologists in academic, practice and other leadership positions as well as APA and SPTA governance.
4. Create networks of women psychologists in leadership/senior management positions in varied professional settings including APA and SPTA governance.
5. Document the career movement, professional advancement as well as the perceived impact of the LIWP among participants.
